People are different, and that's OK :) Some people have 1-2 really close friends, others have 20 friends that they are not that close with but still close enough to meet every week for dinner, but if you want someone to help you hide a body when you accidentally killed someone, you're probably better off with 1-2 really close friends. And also, you can invite anyone over for dinner, that's sometimes how you make acquaintances into friends :)

Well until this as-of-yet unknown person turns you into a body. I don't have friends.

  > Well until this as-of-yet unknown person turns you into a body. Most people won't :) I've probably met 100s of people and invited them home at one point or another, and worst thing I've experienced is rude, stupid, dumb, clumsy people, or a combination of some/all of those traits. No one is perfect though, including ourselves, so most people come with one or two traits you won't like, but don't let that stop you. > I don't have friends. Then head out and make some! Even introverts can make friends, although it is a bit harder for us, I guess.

  That's a quick way to turn into a body... "Recent studies found that: Social isolation significantly increased a person's risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Social isolation was associated with about a 50% increased risk of dementia." https://www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older-adults.html#:~:text=Health%20Risks%20of%20Loneliness&text=Recent%20studies%20found%20that%3A,%2C%20obesity%2C%20and%20physical%20inactivity.&text=1-,Social%20isolation%20was%20associated%20with,50%25%20increased%20risk%20of%20dementia https://www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older....

  Hence the "it's a dinner" part. All you need is keeping me distracted with more lamb chops and drinks until I forget that came to kill you, nom, nom, nom. It always work.
